The most seasoned can rent a kayak (single or two-seater) in Carry-le-Rouet and set off on an adventure in complete autonomy. Creeks, wild beaches, towering cliffs and hidden caves... These landscapes will motivate you to slide on the water to discover all its secrets.
Tips not to be missed: Head to the protected marine area at Cap Rousset beach in Carry-le-Rouet. You can observe protected species and a rare posidonia.

Have you ever imagined feeling the swell of the wind on your face, hearing the lapping of the waves hitting the hull of the boat, the sail flapping in the wind? Welcome to Saint-Amour! This old rig surveys the waters of the Etang-de-Berre and the Mediterranean Sea to make you live real adventures! Spend a day aboard this sailboat for a program rich in ... idleness! From Martigues, head for the creeks of the Côte Bleue where you will drop anchor for moments of relaxation. Discover the world around an aperitif on board, dive into the crystal clear waters of the Mediterranean Sea and savor the surrounding calm of the wild creeks. Far from the crowds, you will truly feel alone in the world.
Change of atmosphere, we head for the beach of Figuerolles! From La Mède, embark at the beginning of the evening to enjoy a moment of relaxation in XXL format. You will be overwhelmed by the calm of the nearby hills and can recharge your batteries at the edge of the Etang de Berre. The song of the little terns perched on the branches of the massive Aleppo pines, the discreet momentum of the waves on the hull of the sailboat, the appreciation of a panorama that is both wild and preserved, the extent over several kilometers of the Figuerolles beach which reminds us so much of those of the South Seas!
Tips not to be missed: The orange colors of the sky at sunset on the way back from the walk.

What would Martigues be without its canals? Its colorful facades? Its reflections in the water? Discover the city from a new perspective! Sit down next to us and let the captain's voice guide you. He will comment on the history of Martigues. Beyond approaching the emblematic sites of the destination, you will travel to the heart of a fishing town. You will come across boats returning to port, sailors ready on the deck of their boat, sailors busy untangling their nets. The sea air will tickle your nostrils, the light breeze will caress your face, the softness of the sun will tease your skin for a southern experience.
And if you prolong the pleasure until the evening? We meet on the quay around 8 p.m. for an imminent departure! Direction the town of Port-de-Bouc where the sky is the clearest. Ready for a most captivating show?
